  • After multiple failed IUIs and IVF these miracle mamas never quit, and brought home their baby girl: Nita and Penny's Story

    Meet Nita and Penny. These two badass ladies could've stopped after the first, second, or third failed IUI, but they didn't. They could've given up after a chemical pregnancy, but they didn't. They could've said f*ck this when their sperm donor's junk got lost in transit on transfer day, but they kept going. These two amazing women knew they were meant to be moms and kept saying YES even when the universe was throwing serious curve balls. On today's episode they reflect on their journey to motherhood and what helped them get there.

  • Women who bring home their babies learn to TRUST themselves: Learn 3 essential habits they’ve got on lockdown and transform your results.

    One essential thing that we don’t have nearly enough of on this journey is TRUST. Often we stop trusting our body; we stop trusting our choices; we stop trusting that one day our baby will be in our arms. Instead, we begin counting numbers, statistics and odds. We use the past as a predictor of the future, and it does not look good.  In this podcast we explore:

    ·     Why evolution makes us prone to think we’ll never

    succeed on this journey

    ·     What science has to say about increasing the odds of

    conception

    ·     Three essential habits that women who succeed on this

    journey have on lockdown.

    ·     Why going through your fertility journey alone

    decreases your odds of success.

  • The REAL reason why friendships suffer on this journey and 5 steps you can take to improve them while you're TTC

    The stress of trying to conceive is incredibly heavy, and

    one thing that often makes it harder is not knowing how or what to share with your friends. 

    We often experience a stigma around struggling to get pregnant which makes it nearly impossible to share about it without feeling self-conscious or afraid of being judged. 

    Even though women who are diagnosed with infertility experience stress levels comparable to that of people diagnosed with life threatening disease like cancer, heart disease and HIV, our loved ones don’t always treat us the same.  We fear being told to "just relax" or "stop trying so hard", or we're casually advised to try whatever our sister’s friend’s, cousin did to get pregnant.

    Over and over again, our very valid fears are brushed off with, “it’ll be okay” leaving us wishing we never shared in the first place. 

    That’s one of the reasons why support groups are so helpful for women on the TTC journey (In fact, they’ve been shown to increase conception rates by up to 50%).  And, if you’re looking for one, click HERE to get on the waitlist for mine (with a 60% pregnancy rate from our most recent cohort).

    But, even if you join an amazing support group, you still have relationships that you need to navigate and want to feel good about. 

    Today’s episode will tell you the REAL reason it’s so hard to share and then walk you through 5 steps to take to improve how you communicate with loved ones so you can feel better and live better while you’re working to bring home your baby.

    Have you heard about my free live Masterclass coming on May 8th? From Burnt Out to Badass will take you through my proven technique (I call the 3 R's) to help calm the chaos in your brain, bring clarity to your journey and improve your life, all of which help you live better and bring your baby home faster. In this class, I'll explain why that't true and how it works! I'm also giving away some awesome goodies and answering ALL your questions!

  • What’s your period trying to tell you? Simple secrets to hack your hormones and help you get pregnant with guest expert, Kate Nguy

    Do you feel angry when your period is about to start? Do you snap at your partner more? Do you tend to overcommit when you’re ovulating? Do

    you even know when you’re ovulating? Our cycles and their impact on us tend to be invisible. We sort of have a vague idea of PMS, but the rest is generally
    off our radar (at least it was for me for most of my life, lol).  However, paying attention to our entire cycle can unlock blocks between us and our babies, and it isn’t very hard or time consuming to do! On today’s show, Kate Nguy shares a few simple tools we can use to make a huge impact on our menstrual health.  We dive deep into the flow of the female menstrual cycle uncovering some hidden truths that can be life changing. Kate shares her incredible fertility story, including 3 ectopic pregnancies, how she
    went on to defy dire odds ultimately conceiving and carrying three healthy babies, naturally.  Her journey inspired her to learn more about how living in harmony with our menstrual cycle, rather than struggling against it, can actually optimize fertility and make life SO much better simultaneously.  In this episode we discuss:

    ·     Kate’s experience with ectopic pregnancy and how

    she beat the odds (to have 3 kids!).

    ·     What is hormone hacking and how can it help you

    get pregnant?

    ·     How knowing your menstrual cycle will help you

    understand your emotions and improve your relationships.

    ·     Why progesterone, testosterone and estrogen affect

    us at different phases of our menstrual cycle.

    ·     How understanding the role of these hormones empowers

    us to structure our lives to optimize fertility.

    ·     Why fear, doubt and negativity can’t hurt you as

    long as you follow this simple rule.

    ·     How to listen to your body and use it alongside

    logic to make decisions that bring you closer to your baby.

  • Afraid to celebrate your wins? Why being cautious is keeping you stuck and what you can do about it.

    When you get good news on this journey, how do you respond? If you’re like most women who’re

    struggling to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term, you try not to get too excited.  Does that sound right?

    If it does, then today’s show is going to help you feel more comfortable celebrating your wins.  If you’ve experienced

    something traumatic like miscarriage, failed IVF, a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, or some other horrible thing, then it’s understandable that when a bit of good news comes your way, like a great blood test, a successful egg
    retrieval or a sign of healthy ovulation, you’re cautious about feeling “too” happy. 

    Maybe you’re worried that feeling excited now will make it more painful later if things don’t work out? Like by not celebrating it’ll hurt less is something goes wrong? I’m going to tell you the truth right now because I love you and I don’t want you to suffer: it doesn’t help.

    Being cautious about being happy is like sending a big red flag out to the universe that says, I’m miserable, give me more please. When you celebrate your wins you signal to your body, your mind and the universe at large that you

    expect more good things to come, and that sets you up to realize those things. 

    In contrast, when you stay cautious, the sadness of a loss or something not working out on schedule doesn’t hurt less. You just hurt twice: once when you expect it or deny your happiness as a way of “protecting” yourself and the other when whatever thing you feared actually happens.

    Today we’re talking about what you can do instead of living in this cycle of denial and fear and start living your BEST life while you prepare for baby.

  • 3 Lies to never believe when you're trying to conceive

    We hear a lot of BS on this journey from our doctors and other “experts”, but sadly, we also tell ourselves

    a lot of stories that simply aren’t true.  And most of us don’t realize that we’re doing it.  If you’ve had failed IVF treatments, suffered from a miscarriage, been told you have unexplained infertility or any other of the host of things that women experience on this journey, then the odds are
    that beautiful sneaky brain of yours is feeding you at least one (if not all three) of these common lies.

     Have you ever found yourself wondering if you waited too long, if this struggle is your fault, or if you’re being punished for something?

     If you said yes to one or more of those questions, then you need to check out this podcast right now. Living in fear, blame and guilt is not only making you miserable it’s also blocking your fertility.

     That’s because you can’t make good decisions from a bad place. The more stressed out, guilt ridden and fearful we become, the more our pre-frontal cortex gets overloaded and our thinking literally becomes muddied.  When

    we’re feeding ourselves a steady diet of thoughts like “I’m too old” or “It’s my fault this isn’t working” we think we’re basing our ideas off of facts, but the truth is they’re reactions to a frightening, high stakes situation.  But we believe them anyway. And that muddies our thinking and the cycle continues.

     How do you break the cycle? Poke at the thoughts so you can see exactly how “true” (or UNTRUE) they really are.

    And that’s exactly what we’re doing together on today’s episode.

  • Is the mind-body connection real and can it help fertility?

    When getting pregnant gets hard, we obsess about supplements, diet, exercise, doctors, protocols, sleep, energy and so many more things related to the physical body.  And we assume that those are the only necessary bases to cover. Meanwhile, our minds turn into a toxic waste dump and most of us don’t even realize it’s happening.

    On today’s episode with guest expert Michelle Oravitz, we’re myth-busting the mistaken belief that our mind plays second fiddle to our body on the fertility journey.  This is an episode you don’t want to miss. It lays out essential information like:

    ·      Why birth control is an illusionary fix for anything other than preventing pregnancy.

    ·      Our bodies are hardwired to reproduce, struggling to conceive isn’t a failure; it’s a puzzle to piece together.

    ·      An open heart opens the uterus to receive.

    ·      The secret to getting pregnant isn’t having lots of sex when you ovulate; it’s actually at a different time of the month.

    ·      Loving yourself is not conceited. It’s the key to optimizing fertility.

     We dive into so much essential information based on

    thousands of years of practice built into Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Michelle has 20 years-experience helping
    women conceive using the systems she talks about today.  And everything she says aligns perfectly with the topics we regularly discuss on this show. It’s so aligned, it’s
    freaking mind-blowing.

     Michelle Oravitz is the host of a top-rated podcast called ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’

     She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom.

  • The Best Way to De-stress and Boost Your Fertility

    We all want to know the fastest way to get pregnant, the secret tricks to boost your fertility or the best way to beat stress and boost fertility.

    But the truth is, when it comes to a lot of this stuff, different things are going to work differently for different people.

    That said, just because the things you have to “do” may be different, there is one thing that applies to everyone and it’s the same for everyone no matter what: whether or not you utilize your

    mindset to optimize your chances of success.

     It doesn’t matter if you’re struggling to get pregnant at 28 or 46, you need to know about this ONE thing that is a major game changer.

    It comes down to this: getting pregnant is less about what you’re doing and more about how you’re being.

     Here’s some key takeaways to help break that down:

    1.  If you’re doing all the right things, but super stressed about it, that could be working against you.

    2.  When you’re trying so hard to be perfect (because who wouldn’t, right?) you’re more likely to make choices that lead you down the wrong path.

    3.  If you’re going about getting pregnant the same way you succeeded in school or in the workplace -STOP it right now.

    4.  There are 3 Surprising Habits that block your fertility, and they're pretty easy to fix.

    Download my free Ebooklet that explains them.

    Stopping these will not only improve your life it'll boost your fertility even if you’re over 35, doing IVF or had failed cycles.

  • 5 Essential Steps for Coping with Grief Caused by Infertility

    Grief on the fertility journey doesn't just refer to the loss of a pregnancy, although that is traumatic and necessitates healing. It also refers to the loss of a dream. As females, we're raised looking forward to getting married and having kids. It's the tagline to every Disney Princess movie you ever watched -even the empowered ones!

    So, when you encounter challenges to making that happen, you lose your ability to confidently look forward to that time in your life. There's a part of your dream that dies. That doesn't mean you're giving up. Hell no. If you're reading this and listening to this show, then I KNOW you're NOT giving up. It doesn't matter if you've been diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, "old" eggs, thyroid issues, recurrent miscarriage, unexplained infertility or some other awful diagnosis, you're going to become a mom. BUT, the dream of it being simple, splendid and romantic gets crushed under the weight of infertility. Today's episode looks at the intrinsic aspect of grief within every struggle to conceive and offers 5 essential steps for building the resilience required to deal with anything your journey throws at you.
